Podcasts about Assistant United States Attorney

On March 6, President Trump issued the executive order “Addressing Risk from Perkins Coie LLP,” essentially preventing the firm from doing business with the federal government, stripping its staff of security clearances. It was the first of several presidential orders aimed at law firms that represented clients and/or employed attorneys at odds with Trump.At the same time, Trump and members of his administration have voiced loud opposition to judges who rule against him and, in what many see as a weaponization of justice, have fired members of the Department of Justice without cause. Even the new Attorney General Pam Bondi is breaking with long held protocol by openly defending the administration, taking a partisan position when defending her decision not to investigate the Signal scandal of top national security officers sharing war plans via the public ap, saying: “If you want to talk about classified information, talk about what was in Hillary Clinton's home. Talk about the classified documents in Joe Biden's garage that Hunter Biden had access to.”Are the norms and practices that have maintained the rule of law in the United States straining under the pressure of the Trump administration?Stanford Law Professor David Sklansky, a criminal law expert, joins Pam Karlan for a look at the first 100 days of the Trump administration—and the unprecedented number of executive orders targeting rule of law norms. Sklansky, co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center who teaches and writes about policing, prosecution, criminal law, and the law of evidence, is the author, most recently of Criminal Justice in Divided America: Police, Punishment, and the Future of Our Democracy, was published earlier this year by Harvard University Press. Earlier he practiced labor law in Washington D.C. and served as a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles.Links:David Sklansky  >>> Stanford Law pageCriminal Justice in Divided America >>> Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X (00:00:00) The Rule of Law and Executive Orders(00:15:01) Legal Profession's Response to Political Pressure(00:27:01) Impact on Universities and Academic Freedom(00:37:01) Redefining Pro Bono Work(00:44:42) The Importance of the Rule of Law

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor, Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, and the Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY, where he specialized in white-collar crime. We break down Trump's escalating attacks on the judiciary, including his push to impeach Judge James Boasberg and Chief Justice Roberts' rare public rebuke. Nick explains how Trump's efforts to undermine judicial independence mirror authoritarian regimes and what legal safeguards remain to check his power. We also discuss Trump's violations of court orders in deportation cases, the dangers of his expanded executive authority, and the legal battles ahead as he attempts to reshape the government in his image.

How do we prevent or catch mismanagement, corruption, and waste of taxpayers' dollars in federal agencies? On January 24, 2025, days into his second administration, President Trump fired Inspectors General from 17 different federal agencies, including the Department of Labor. If no one is watching, does that mean there's nothing to see?In this episode Pam Karlan is joined by Glenn Fine, a former Inspector General of both the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense. Glenn highlights the extensive work involved in detecting and deterring waste, fraud, and abuse within these massive agencies. He discusses the differences between the DOJ and DOD, emphasizing the unique challenges and the importance of understanding each agency's culture and operations. Through detailed examples, including politicized hiring at the DOJ and a tragic incident at the Bureau of Prisons, he illustrates the breadth and impact of the investigations conducted by Inspectors General—and the essential function of these watchdogs in maintaining integrity and accountability within federal agencies. Earlier in his career, Glenn served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Washington D.C., where he handled criminal cases, including more than 35 jury trials. He also worked in private practice in two law firms.  He is the author of the book Watchdogs: Inspectors General and the Battle for Honest and Accountable Government, with a foreword by General Jim Mattis. He currently is a fellow at the Brookings Institution and serves as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University—and as a visiting lecturer at Stanford Law School.Links:Glenn Fine >>> Stanford Law pageWatchdogs >>> UVA Press pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00:00)  Introduction and Overview of the Inspector General's Role(00:03:52) The Impact of Inspector General Reports(00:04:39) Notable Investigations at DOJ and DOD(00:15:56) The Role of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service(00:17:23) Coordinating COVID-19 Relief Oversight(00:27:59) Importance of the IG's role in maintaining government accountability

In the late-night hours of December 5, 2003, Jonathan Luna, an Assistant United States Attorney, left the Baltimore courthouse and drove northeast on Interstate 95. After spending the next several hours on a seemingly impromptu multi-state road trip, Jonathan was found dead, having been stabbed thirty-six times with his own pocketknife before he drowned in a creek next to his partially submerged car.  With Jonathan's strange behavior leading up to his death and no appearance of foul play, investigators assumed Jonathan took his own life, but many people think there may be more to the story.    Sources: Somebody Somewhere Season 3.

David and Jasmine talk with Markus Funk about the investigation and trial of the powerful Chicago-based Calabrese family mob, who engineered years of extortion, gambling, bookmaking, and hundreds of murders. Their gangland execution of two mobsters in an Indiana cornfield was reenacted in Martin Scorsese's Casino, giving viewers a glimpse of the chilling nature of organized crime activities. Marcus describes the trial of the nation's most extensive mob murder case, how they flipped mob leader Frank Calabrese's son, and how Markus' closing argument prompted Frank Sr. to refer to him as “a dead man.” He shares fascinating details of his life as an assistant United States attorney (AUSA), how to be persuasive at trial, and how his experience has taught him the importance of being authentic, no matter your role.

In episode three of our National Case Closed Project: Supporting Best Practices in Investigation season, Just Science sat down with Lamar Fyall, Assistant United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina, Rob Lang, Assistant United States Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, and John Wilkinson, Attorney Advisor at AEquitas, to discuss how state, local, and federal prosecutors' offices can collaborate with law enforcement to improve case outcomes. While some law enforcement officers may have a go-to contact in their state or local prosecutor's office, more consistent collaboration and information-sharing practices can help bring violent crime offenders to justice. For example, many prosecutors work with law enforcement to better utilize the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network or NIBIN leads and other crime intelligence to supplement case evidence. Listen along as Lamar, Rob, and John describe their unique experiences building systems of communication between law enforcement and prosecutors, the evolving role of crime gun intelligence in building a case, and improving victim and witness case cooperation.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/15/2023): 3:05pm- On Monday night, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced former president Donald Trump has been indicted for racketeering for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. 18 others were charged as well—including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell. Corinne Ramey and James Fanelli of The Wall Street Journal write, “If Trump wins the next presidential election, he could attempt to pardon himself in any federal case or steer the Justice Department to retreat from Smith's charges. In Georgia, he would lack the ability to wipe away a state conviction or prison term. Even if Trump were to seek a state pardon, he wouldn't be eligible to do so until after serving a sentence for any conviction. In Georgia, any such pardon would be determined by a state board, not the governor.” You can read their full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/georgia-case-presents-unique-challenges-for-trumpand-prosecutors-4dd6ee37 3:35pm- In a video posted to Truth Social, former president Donald Trump addressed the wildfires that have devastated Hawaii—tragically killing nearly one hundred people making it one of the deadliest wildfires in recent U.S. history. 3:45pm- Is the Georgia indictment Donald Trump's greatest legal concern yet?  4:05pm- While speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday, President Joe Biden promised that he would soon be visiting Hawaii to assess the damage caused by wildfires in Maui.

Akerman joins us today to discuss how Trump is basically screwed in his election interference trial and why televising the trial will be a terrible idea.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/14/2023): 3:05pm- According to estimates, nearly one-hundred people have died as a result of the wildfires in Hawaii—specifically Maui County. Governor Josh Green stated that he expected rescue workers to “find ten to twenty people per day” for the next ten days. The Daily Wire's Zach Jewell writes that evacuations were complicated because “emergency sirens on Maui failed to go off as a devastating wildfire approached residential areas on the island.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-warning-mauis-emergency-sirens-failed-to-alert-residents-to-approaching-fire-death-toll-climbs-to-80 3:35pm- Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserves & Former U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard joins The Rich Zeoli Show from Hawaii to provide updates on the devastating wildfires that have tragically impacted Maui County. Alarmingly, local officials are preventing media members from entering the west-side of Maui—preventing residents from telling their stories and failing to maximize awareness nationally, ultimately exacerbating an already difficult situation. Gabbard emphasizes that the people of Maui are in “dire need of support and resources.” She encourages people to donate at: https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/ or https://samaritanspurse.org/. 4:05pm- Andrew C.

The charges were promptly deleted from the court's website on Monday—but is it only a matter of time before Trump is officially indicted again? 4:30pm- Listener Andrew calls in from the Philadelphia airport—he had been in Maui, Hawaii where he witnessed firsthand the devastation of the wildfires. He notes that he never received an evacuation notice despite the alarming speed at which the fire was spreading. 4:45pm- While appearing on CNN with Jake Tapper, Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) baselessly blamed climate change for the wildfires that have devastated Hawaii. 5:00pm- The Drive at 5: David Wildstein of The New Jersey Globe reports that the NJ Supreme Court concluded that “a parochial school didn't violate New Jersey's discrimination laws when it fired a teacher for not abiding by the teachings of the Catholic Church after learning that she had premarital sex” in a case brought before the state's highest court.

It's the 18th whale to die on East Coast beaches in 2023. Many environmental experts believe the uptick in deaths is linked to offshore wind development's use of sonar to map the ocean's floor which may prevent whales from communicating with one another while inhibiting accurate navigation.

Jeh Johnson is a partner in the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP and the former Secretary of Homeland Security (2013-2017), General Counsel of the Department of Defense (2009-2012), General Counsel of the Department of the Air Force (1998-2001), and an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York (1989-1991). In private life, in addition to practicing law, Johnson is on the board of directors of Lockheed Martin, U.S. Steel, MetLife, the Council on Foreign Relations, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City, and is a trustee of Columbia University. Johnson is frequent commentator on national and homeland security matters on NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, FOX, CNBC, NPR, Bloomberg TV and other news networks, and has written op-eds in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Hill, Lawfare, and elsewhere.  As of March 2022, Johnson also hosts a classic R&B radio show on FM public radio station WBGO, 88.3FM, based in Newark, NJ.   As Secretary of Homeland Security, Johnson was the head of the third largest cabinet department of the U.S. government, consisting of 230,000 personnel and 22 components, including TSA, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Services, U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and FEMA. Johnson's responsibilities as Secretary included counterterrorism, cybersecurity, aviation security, border security, port security, maritime security, protection of our national leaders, the detection of chemical, biological and nuclear threats to the homeland, and response to natural disasters.  In three years as Secretary of DHS, Johnson is credited with management reform of the Department, which brought about a more centralized approach to decision-making in the areas of budgets, acquisition and overall policy.  Johnson also raised employee morale across the Department, reflected in the September 2016 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.  As General Counsel of the Department of Defense, Johnson is credited with being the legal architect for the U.S. military's counterterrorism efforts in the Obama Administration.  In 2010, Johnson co-authored the report that paved the way for the repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell by Congress later that year. In his book Duty, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wrote that Johnson "proved to be the finest lawyer I ever worked with in government - a straightforward, plain-speaking man of great integrity, with common sense to burn and a good sense of humor."  According to published reports, Johnson provided the opinion that was the legal basis for U.S. special forces to enter Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011.    Johnson is a 2022 recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, a 2021 recipient of the American Lawyer's Lifetime Achievement Award, as “an American statesman [who] has devoted his career to the public interest,” and a 2018 recipient of the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Award, presented at the Reagan Presidential Library, for “contribut[ing] greatly to the defense of our nation,” and “guiding us through turbulent times with courage and wisdom.”  In 2020 the Chief Judge of New York State asked Johnson to conduct a comprehensive review of equal justice in the New York State courts.  On October 1, 2020 Johnson issued a public report with his findings and recommendations, all of which the Chief Judge has committed to adopting.  Johnson has debated at both the Cambridge and Oxford Unions in England, and in November 2019 was conferred honorary life membership in the Cambridge Union.  Johnson is a graduate of Morehouse College (1979) and Columbia Law School (1982) and the recipient of 13 honorary degrees.   Johnson married “the girl next-door,” literally, Dr. Susan DiMarco, in 1994. Susan is a retired dentist, a volunteer at the southern border and in numerous other activities, and, at the request of the U.S. Navy, is the sponsor of the Virginia-class submarine USS NEW JERSEY (SSN-796).  In February 2023, Johnson and his family history were profiled on an episode of PBS' Finding Your Roots. For Jazz fans, tune into “All Things Soul with Jeh Johnson", once a month on Saturdays from 8 – 10 am on WBGO 88.3 FM.   On this episode, Secretary Johnson shares his one way ticket to Birmingham, Alabama on May 20, 1961, to resume the Freedom Rides, and highlights the role they had in the US Civil Rights Movement. During the course of our conversation, he also covers his family history as unearthed by Henry Louis Gates on Finding Your Roots, how he approached managing the Department of Homeland Security, concerns about cybersecurity and AI and his love for classic R&B which he features on his radio show.

David X. Sullivan, former Assistant United States Attorney, discusses the odd nature of the Hunter Biden criminal case and the optics arising out of it. Sullivan comments that looking through the case, for ‘people that claim that there are two tiers of justice in this country, nothing could be more compelling than looking at the Hunter Biden criminal case.' Saying, that what Hunter Biden was afforded of pleading to misdemeanor charges “is a hand slap,” that in his 30 years of working at the U.S. Attorney's office in the district of Connecticut he “saw one and only one case, criminally, in which someone was afforded the opportunity to plead guilty to a misdemeanor tax offense, one in 30 years.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/31/2023): 3:05pm- On Thursday evening, news broke that former President Donald Trump would be indicted for his role in allegedly providing hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016. Corinne Ramey and Joe Palazzolo of The Wall Street Journal write: “The substance of the charges aren't public for now and are expected to remain sealed until Mr. Trump makes an initial appearance in court, likely on Tuesday afternoon. He is first expected to report to the district attorney's office, where he will be arrested, fingerprinted and photographed.” According to claims made by Trump's attorney, the former president will not accept any plea deal. You can read their full report here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-hits-airwaves-to-attack-new-york-indictment-9fb00702?mod=hp_lead_pos1 3:15pm- On Thursday night, in response to news of former President Donald Trump's indictment, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tweeted: “The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.” In response to Pelosi's preposterous claims of a “trial to prove innocence”, Twitter quickly fact checked the statement, citing Cornell Law School: “Ms. Pelosi mistakenly says that Trump can prove his innocence at trial. Law in the US assumes the innocence of a defendant and the prosecution must prove guilt for a conviction.” 3:25pm Attorney Kate Shaw—Law Professor at Yeshica University & an expert on Constitutional Law—appeared on ABC News and seemingly questioned whether Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has jurisdiction to indict Donald Trump. Two-minutes into the interview, host George Stephanopoulos seemingly cut her off and immediately moved on from what she said. 3:40pm- While appearing on ABC News, Donald Trump's Attorney Joe Tacopina condemned the Manhattan District Attorney's office for bringing politically driven charges against the former president. Tacopina claimed the indictment is based upon “rumors and leaks.” 3:50pm- In his latest editorial for National Review, former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew C. McCarthy writes: “Alvin Bragg, the elected progressive Democrat who ran for Manhattan district attorney as the candidate most likely to wield his power against Donald Trump, crossed the Rubicon on Thursday… If reports are to be believed, it is not merely an unworthy exercise of prosecutorial discretion. It is one that will threaten the legitimacy of the justice system—on the public acceptance of which the rule of law hinges.” You can read McCarthy's full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/03/bragg-crosses-the-rubicon-indicting-trump-on-stormy-daniels-nonsense/ 4:05pm- Zack Smith—Legal fellow and manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in Heritage's Meese Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a New York grand jury deciding to charge former President Donald Trump for his alleged involvement in hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election cycle. Smith contends Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has several major hurdles he'll have to clear in order to prove guilt including the character flaws of his star witness, Michael Cohen, who is a disbarred attorney that has pled guilty to lying before Congress. 4:15pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman claimed that indictment and arrest scare Donald Trump. 4:25pm- How much time has network television dedicated towards Biden family corruption allegations? Not much. Including zero coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC…shocking! While speaking with Fox News' Jimmy Failla, Congressman James Comer (R-KY) revealed that preliminary House investigations into the Biden family suggest that there are between five and seven Bidens who have received money from China. 4:30pm- Who Won Social Media? Rich gives it to himself for making fun of Nancy Pelosi. Is he allowed to do that? 4:35pm- While speaking with members of the press during her visit to Zambia, Vice President Kamala Harris declined to comment on the indictment of former President Donald Trump. Is Zambia a Texas border town, by chance? 4:45pm- Todd Shepherd—Chief Investigative Reporter at Broad + Liberty—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest report, “Sen. Casey Tight-Lipped Over Potential Stock Sale Reporting Violation.” You can read the full article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2023/03/29/sen-casey-tight-lipped-over-potential-stock-sale-reporting-violation/ 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: According to reports, former Donald Trump's arraignment will take place at 2:15pm on Tuesday in New York. 5:10pm- According to a report from Adam Klasfeld of Law & Crime, right-wing Twitter troll Douglas Mackey has been convicted of interfering in the 2016 presidential election for his role in creating “deceptive” texts and memes. Isn't this type of speech parody and, subsequently, protected under the 1st Amendment? 5:20pm- Chris Pratt hilariously mocked Instagram users who claimed they were offended by his recurring “snack of the day” social media posts. 5:40pm- According to a report from The New York Post, CBS News executives have barred reporters from using the word “transgender” while covering the actions of the Nashville, Tennessee shooter—a biological woman who identified as male. Meanwhile, ABC and NBC news ignored rioters—advocating on behalf of gun control legislation—who forced their way into Tennessee's state capitol in Nashville on Thursday. 5:45pm- Speaking from the Senate floor, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) argued for a ban of the social media application TikTok—citing its parent company's, ByteDance, close connections to the Chinese government. In a compelling rebuttal, Sen. Rand Paul argued that a ban would violate the 1st Amendment and that by censoring content the U.S. government would, ironically, adopt the policies of the Chinese Communist Party. 5:55pm- While visiting Rolling Fork, Mississippi on Friday, President Joe Biden vowed that “the town of Rolling Stone will be back” following a destructive tornado. 6:05pm- Jimmy Failla—stand-up comedian & Fox News Radio host—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the craziness that is sure to occur during Trump's arraignment in New York on Tuesday, the complexities of being an obese protestor, and the irony of porn star Stormy Daniels making money from WEARING clothes! You can hear The Best of Jimmy Failla every Saturday on 1210 WPHT. 6:25pm- Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has been released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after receiving weeks of treatment for severe depression.

David X. Sullivan, former Assistant United States Attorney, discusses the ‘troubling' air surrounding the ‘Twitter files' documents showing that Twitter under the directive of the FBI censored content on the platform. Sullivan also comments on the recent story that came to light that the DOJ secretly subpoenaed the phone and e-mail records of Kash Patel while he worked for then-House Oversight Committee Chairman Devin Nunes investigating Russia Collusion. Sullivan comments on extreme examples of government overreach and how the federal government must be reminded that it does not have these powers. Saying, this is now not “a red issue, it's not a blue issue, it's a red, white, and blue issue. This is America, and I think these people forget, you know, what this country is founded on and the liberties that so many fought for, and continue to fight for, on behalf of all of us.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
